Chalençon is a family of the French aristocracy from the Velay with ancestral home in Saint-André-de-Chalencon (Haute-Loire). One line of the family is the younger house Polignac .

history

People with the name "de Chalençon" are first attested to around the 11th century, a connected family then emerged at the end of the 12th century.

The older line of the family took the name de Chalençon de Polignac in 1349 on the occasion of the wedding of Baron Guillaume de Chalençon and Viscountess Valpurge de Polignac from the older house of Polignac , which earned him the vice-county of Polignac .

The family received the title of Duke of Polignac in 1780, which is inherited as the title of firstborn , while the younger sons became counts. In addition, Duke Auguste was given the papal title Princeps Romanus in 1822 and the royal Bavarian prince status in 1838, which is why his younger descendants bear the title of Prince or Princess . One of the younger counts lines received the title of firstborn Marquis de Polignac.

A younger line inherited the Principality of Monaco in 1949 : Prince Rainier III. was the son of Pierre de Polignac (1895-1964), who (again on the occasion of his wedding) had adopted the name Grimaldi (name of the Monegasque princely dynasty) with the hereditary princess Charlotte of Monaco .

In addition to the family of the Vicomtes de Polignac, there was a Poulignac family that came from the Angoumois and changed their name to Polignac in 1585. Their attempt to be recognized as a relative of the Polignac from the Velay were rejected by the court. Nevertheless, the family carried the title of Count of Polignac from around the beginning of the 18th century. It was extinct in 1855.

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ In Volume III.2, Plate 306 (Bastards of Orléans) of the European Family Tables, Schwennicke describes Antoinette de Polignac, Dame de Combronde, the mistress of Charles d'Orléans , Count of Angoulême , as the wife of Jean de Polignac from a bastard line. Volume XIII, Plate 4 (Les Amboise) reads: “Guy sn de Ravel Franz Rat and Km 1502/07, † 11.I 1508, ⚭ 18.XI 1491 Françoise Dauphine de l'Espinasse dite Mlle. De Combronde, Dame de Saint-Ilpize et de Combronde, † after 27.XI 1510, T by Érard dit Béraud D de l'E sn de Combronde et de Jaligny and Antoinette de Polignac “. It can be assumed that the named Antoinette de Polignac, Dame de Combronde, not least as the wife of Béraud Dauphin de l'Espinasse, is the aforementioned mistress of the Count of Angoulême.
